Having read the reviews for Kipper I bought this DVD for my 18 month old. He loves it so much it prompted me to add my own review. He is captivated by Kipper, the simple and entertaining stories and the characters. He asks for Kipper by name now and even does a dance to the opening music! He giggles out loud at the hamster in Pigs Present. Its lovely to have a DVD that I can put on for 10 minutes and know that Aaron will enjoy every minute. I would recommend this to everyone.

We laughed uncontrollably through the first 2 series of Doc Martin, and so eagerly anticipated Series 3.
The hilarity and local charm of Series 1 and 2 are entirely absent from Series 3; the comedy has been transformed into a drama in which the Doc makes heroic medical save after heroic medical save and somehow manages to have a relationship with Louisa. A key character, PC Mark Mylow, played by the amazing Stewart Wright is gone, his PC role replaced by a character who never becomes much of a presence despite repeated attempts. There is little sense of community, and when new characters are introduced, they are rarely seen again. The series has become dull, the searing wit and rapid-fire zingers are gone, and characters become ... Read More:

The story of Lorna Doone - of love between a man and woman on opposite sides of warring factions - has been filmed many times but this BBC adaptation has an eye-watering cast of TV and film favourites and stunning production values.
Told in two 75 minute parts, we see John Ridd (the Heath Ledger-ish Richard Coyle) set his sights on the Grand-daughter of the outlaw Doone family, played by Amelia Warner. Set at the end of the reign of Charles the 2nd, this drama has romance, action and plenty of twists and turns and with a PG rating is suitable for the whole family.
Amongst those familiar faces are Jack Shepherd (Golden Compass, Wycliffe),Barbara Flynn (When The Boat Comes In), Michael Kitchen and Honeysuckle Weeks (Foyles ... Read More:

This version of Goodbye Mr Chips is in my opinion a superb production and by far the best version yet made. The story is familiar, a strict disciplinarian schoolmaster who mellows with age and wins the love and respect of everyone around him.
Martin Clunes was an inspired choice for the part of Mr Chipping, and his powerful performance was the most touching thing I have ever seen.... ever! I defy anyone with half a heart to watch this film and remain unmoved by it.
Martin Clunes played Chips from a young twenty-something, through to a caring and much beloved headmaster in his late eighties, and not only is his performance thoroughly believable, the make-up department also did a bang-up job in making him look totally genuine as ... Read More:

If you liked Cool Runnings then this is your next DVD. A excellent comedy film that will keep you entertained and you can watch it again and again and still find new things to laugh at.

Having bought and watched Series 1 & 2 in their entirity (and loved them), I am very disappointed with this film. There is no charm, and no feel-good factor from watching it - I was not looking for sugary, safe entertainment, but I was both disturbed and bored well before the end..sorry, a mistaken purchase.

Avon Bard Joe Fiennes gets hots for Ethel the Pirate's daughter, who is a girl playing a boy playing a girl - sort of Julian Clary in drag. She (Paltrow) however, whilst idolizing Master Shakespeare, is betrothed to big-shot baccy-owner and general bad odour Colin Firth, to be whisked off to the New World - Milton Keynes. Bard uses girl as his muse - the next line was deleted - and Geoffrey Rush gets his toasted shoes back before Queen Judi rumbles the lot of `em and sends girl packing to Virginia. She should have taken the train because the ship sinks. Love's labours lost. But all's well that ends well: how? - it's a mystery. Marc Norman & Tom Stoppard's clever plotline must have looked like a plate of spaghetti, brilliantly trapping little tell-tale ... Read More:
